Judith leads forward-looking market and economic analyses that help public and private clients identify and implement transformational, yet achievable, real estate development strategies.

Since joining HR&A’s Los Angeles Office in 2013, Judith has focused her expertise in transit-oriented development (TOD) and economic and placemaking strategies for suburban, exurban, and historically disinvested communities. Judith has a breadth of experience providing customized economic analyses including real estate market analysis, economic impact analysis, fiscal impact analysis, development advisory assistance, revitalization strategies, and funding and value capture strategies, to aid clients in optimizing unique development opportunities.

• Judith’s TOD work includes financial analysis and the development of a community benefits strategy for the Expo Light Rail Phase II Transit Neighborhood Plans for the City of Los Angeles and an innovative integrated TOD corridor planning effort for the proposed West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail for Metro.
• Judith has also developed economic strategies to leverage the value of the proposed California High Speed Rail for the City of Bakersfield and is providing development advisory services for the City of San Jose as it looks to develop the station area of the largest new multi-modal high-speed rail station west of the Mississippi, Diridon Station.
• Throughout her career Judith has provided analysis and developed revitalization strategies for aging suburban corridors and districts in cities such as the Palmdale, Montclair, Upland, Cathedral City, and Indio, California. Judith has also been on the forefront of health and wellness-anchored redevelopment districts and currently is working on a project in Lancaster, CA.
